<div><img src="/files/images/bill Bynum and co.jpg" style="line-height: 1.22; margin: 6px; border: 1px solid black;" align="right" alt="" width="251" height="201"/>Two of the Taylor Conservatory Foundation's Board of Directors, Mary Boonenberg and Erin Dobbins, who also happen to be the Music &amp; Art In The Gardens founders and Co-Chairs, selected Bill Bynum &amp; Co and Artist, Ken Barbb, for the special Americana and Salute to 4th of July concert and art exhibit, Wednesday, July 1.</div>

<div>The weekly concerts, which run through August 26, are held on the stone terrace of the Taylor Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, 22314 Northline Road in Taylor and is $5 per ticket and free to those under five years of age.</div>
<p>
<div>Boonenberg says, “Bill Bynum &amp; Co, plays both traditional and original music with lead and rhythm guitars, banjo, fiddle, bass and vocal harmonies; all with a country and bluegrass sound” and “Perfect for the evening” adds Dobbins.</div>
<p>

<p>
<div>Barbb, a Detroit area artist and instructor at Downriver Council for the Arts, currently enjoys working with acrylics as his “preferred medium. Painting is my passion. I paint to please myself, with this thought rolling around somewhere in my head: it is my intent to evoke pleasure, to send you on a journey of the mind, beyond space and void of recognizable time. Each creation is unique, a one-of-a-kind experience for me and hopefully for the viewer” continues Barbb.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">TAYLOR – The masterpieces
have arrived in the City of Taylor.</p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><p class="MsoNormal"><img alt="" src="/files/images/pic2.JPG" width="573" height="427"/></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Reproductions of seven classic paintings from the Detroit
Institute of Arts were installed on March 18 in public locations throughout Taylor and are available
for viewing through the end of June.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Taylor was the first city to
receive its artwork as part of the DIA’s popular Inside|Out <span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp;</span>program that takes framed replicas of
masterpieces normally seen inside the world-class art museum to the main
streets and landmark outdoor spaces throughout Southeast
Michigan.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“This is so exciting,” said Patty Donahue, executive
director of the Taylor Conservatory Foundation and the person responsible for
proposing Taylor
as one of the 2012 locations for the program.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Seeing these paintings in a non-traditional environment
really makes your head turn,” she said. “For the next three months, we have a
wonderful opportunity to showcase our city, promote the arts and have some
fun.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Three of the masterpieces are located inside Heritage Park, 12111 Pardee Road:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">●<em style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">The Trapper’s Return</em>
by George Caleb Bingham is near the covered bridge over Coan Lake.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">●<em style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Woman in an Armchair</em>
by Pierre Auguste Renoir is located at the entryway to the Goodwill Community
Garden.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">●<em style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Chevy</em> by Edwin
Henry Landseer is located east of World Series Field, home of the Junior League
Baseball World Series. The DIA has agreed to have the Landseer masterpiece on
display through the end of the World Series, which takes place August 12-18.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The others:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">●<em style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Gladioli</em> by
Claude Monet is located at the Taylor Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, also on the Heritage Park campus, 22314 Northline Road.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">●<em style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Fire in a Haystack</em>
by Jules Adolphe Aime Louis Breton is located on an exterior wall of the nearby
Taylor Community Library, 12303
Pardee Road.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">●<em style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Warrior with Two
Pages</em> by Peter Paul Rubens is on a wall of the Taylor Recreation
Center, 22825 Goddard Road.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">●<em style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Violinist and Young
Woman</em> by Edgar Degas is located outside the William Ford
Senior Activity
Center, 6750 Troy Street, west
of Telegraph Road
and north of Ecorse Road.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Each reproduction is accompanied by an explanation of the
work of art, information about the artist and a description of the Inside|Out program.
A small case is attached to the structure and will contain maps to the
locations of all of the great treasures from the DIA in Taylor.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Donahue was especially thrilled that the Taylor Conservatory
and Botanical Gardens is home to a reproduction of Monet’s <em style="mso-bidi-font-style:
normal">Gladioli,</em> which a garden-inspired painting.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">"The program and this painting are perfectly in line
with our mission of promoting the arts in our community, and we are so happy to
participate,” Donahue said.</p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><p class="MsoNormal"><img alt="" src="/files/images/pic3.JPG" width="643" height="427"/></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Michele Hauske, coordinator of the Inside|Out program for
the DIA, said the Monet painting reproduction truly stands out in front of the unique
metal structure of the Taylor
Conservatory.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hauske said the reproductions were printed on vinyl with a
UV coating and will fare well in the sun, rain and other weather elements. The
wood frames are coated in an exterior-grade varnish. Each of the pieces of art
has been in other communities the last year or two.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Judge Geno Salomone of Taylor’s
23rd District Court was on hand for the installation of the reproductions at
both the Taylor Conservatory,
which he brought to Taylor, and the Goodwill Garden, which he started for the public
to grow crops and for non-violent offenders to provide community service.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“When we started the conservatory, art was always at the
forefront of any consideration – whether it was in the design or the use of the
facility,” Judge Salomone said. “This DIA project is a natural extension of
that and a wonderful opportunity to display some great works of art. It’s also
an opportunity for us to showcase some of the projects that have been built by
wonderful volunteers in our city.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Junior League World Series founder and Director Greg Bzura
said he was excited about the artwork drawing even more people to the
international sporting event for the best teams of 13- and 14-year-old
ballplayers from around the world. He was hopeful that ESPN would feature the
Landseer reproduction during its live broadcast of the championship game on
August 18.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“People who don’t yet know about the World Series can learn
about the place where teen-agers compete for the world championship of Junior
League baseball,” Bzura said. “And the thousands of spectators who come to Taylor for the World
Series will be able to learn about world-class art. It’s a perfect fit.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Scott Martin, manager of the Ford Senior
Center, said seniors are
already talking about the framed reproduction outside the well-attended
activity center. He said seniors taking art classes at the center would enjoy
the Degas reproduction.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Wyandotte
is the only other Downriver city scheduled to receive DIA artwork during the
spring/summer season. Wyandotte’s
installation is scheduled for Friday.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Other participating communities are Eastpointe/Roseville, Mount Clemens, Farmington, Farmington Hills, Southfield,
Clarkston, Bloomfield Township, Wayne
and the five Grosse Pointes.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Each community will have seven to 10 reproductions clustered
within walking or bike-riding distance. The locations will be featured on an
interactive map on the DIA’s website, www.dia.org. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The DIA will offer free museum admission to a Family Sunday
for residents of participating communities. This will encourage them to come to
the DIA to experience “their” works of art in person and enjoy the variety of
activities the museum offers. Taylor and Wyandotte
residents may visit the DIA at no cost on April 29.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Knight Foundation provided $250,000 to sponsor Inside|Out
for 2012 and 2013. The foundation believes weaving the arts into the fabric of
communities inspires the people who live there, which is exactly what
Inside|Out has done over the past two years.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“We believe <span style="mso-ansi-language:EN" lang="EN">that
the arts are a catalyst for public dialogue,” said </span>Dennis Scholl, vice
president/arts for Knight Foundation.<span style="mso-ansi-language:
EN" lang="EN"> “And that shared cultural experiences contribute to a sense of place and
communal identity. </span>Inside|Out<span lang="EN"> has a proven record of accomplishing that, and we are happy to support
it.”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /><span lang="EN"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language:
